Catalysis manganese

The metal-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl-, heteroaryl-, and alkenyhnagnesium derivatives is a broad-scope transformation that has found many synthetic applications C(sp )-C(sp ) couplings are by far the most common. Catalysts by nickel, palladium, and iron complexes is most widespread, but the emerging fields of cobalt and manganese catalysis can also provide useful alternatives.

Left side of Fig. 4 shows a ribbon model of the catalytic (C-) subunit of the mammalian cAMP-dependent protein kinase. This was the first protein kinase whose structure was determined [35]. Figure 4 includes also a ribbon model of the peptide substrate, and ATP (stick representation) with two manganese ions (CPK representation). All kinetic evidence is consistent with a preferred ordered mechanism of catalysis with ATP binding proceeding substrate binding. 

Even ia 1960 a catalytic route was considered the answer to the pollution problem and the by-product sulfate, but nearly ten years elapsed before a process was developed that could be used commercially. Some of the eadier attempts iacluded hydrolysis of acrylonitrile on a sulfonic acid ion-exchange resia (69). Manganese dioxide showed some catalytic activity (70), and copper ions present ia two different valence states were described as catalyticaHy active (71), but copper metal by itself was not active. A variety of catalysts, such as Umshibara or I Jllmann copper and nickel, were used for the hydrolysis of aromatic nitriles, but aUphatic nitriles did not react usiag these catalysts (72). Beginning ia 1971 a series of patents were issued to The Dow Chemical Company (73) describiag the use of copper metal catalysis. Full-scale production was achieved the same year. A solution of acrylonitrile ia water was passed over a fixed bed of copper catalyst at 85°C, which produced a solution of acrylamide ia water with very high conversions and selectivities to acrylamide. 

Reactions 33 and 35 constitute the two principal reactions of alkyl hydroperoxides with metal complexes and are the most common pathway for catalysis of LPOs (2). Both manganese and cobalt are especially effective in these reactions. There is extensive evidence that the oxidation of intermediate ketones is enhanced by a manganese catalyst, probably through an enol mechanism (34,96,183—185). 

A thkd method utilizes cooxidation of an organic promoter with manganese or cobalt-ion catalysis. A process using methyl ethyl ketone (248,252,265—270) was commercialized by Mobil but discontinued in 1973 (263,264). Other promoters include acetaldehyde (248,271—273), paraldehyde (248,274), various hydrocarbons such as butane (270,275), and others. Other types of reported activators include peracetic acid (276) and ozone (277), and very high concentrations of cobalt catalyst (2,248,278). 

Phenols. Phenols are unreactive toward chloroformates at room temperature and at elevated temperatures the yields of carbonates are relatively poor (< 10%) in the absence of catalysis. Many catalysts have been claimed in the patent Hterature that lead to high yields of carbonates from phenol and chloroformates. The use of catalyst is even more essential in the reaction of phenols and aryl chloroformates. Among the catalysts claimed are amphoteric metals or thek haUdes (16), magnesium haUdes (17), magnesium or manganese (18), secondary or tertiary amines such as imidazole (19), pyridine, quinoline, picoline (20—22), heterocycHc basic compounds (23) and carbonamides, thiocarbonamides, phosphoroamides, and sulfonamides (24). 

The oxidation of tartaric and glycollic acid by chromic acid also induces the oxidation of manganous ions. In the presence of higher concentrations of manganese(II) the rate of oxidation of the acids is diminished to about one-third of that in the absence of manganous ions. The decrease of the rate has been attributed to manganese(II) catalysis of the disproportionation of the intermediate valence states of chromium probably chromium(IV).
